Helaman 7:5

Condemning the righteous because of their righteousness;

letting the guilty and the wicked go unpunished because of their money;

and moreover to be held in office at the head of government,

to rule and do according to their wills,

that they might get gain and glory of the world,

and, moreover, that they might the more easily commit adultery,

and steal, and kill, and do according to their own wills—

Helaman 7:7

Oh, that I could have had my days in the days

when my father Nephi first came out of the land of Jerusalem,

that I could have joyed with him in the promised land;

then were his people easy to be entreated,

firm to keep the commandments of God,

and slow to be led to do iniquity;

and they were quick to hearken unto the words of the Lord—

Helaman 7:9

But behold, I am consigned that these are my days,

and that my soul shall be filled with sorrow

because of this the wickedness of my brethren.

yea, and that ye might get gold and silver.

for the which ye do murder, and plunder, and steal,

and bear false witness against your neighbor,

and do all manner of iniquity.

wo shall come unto you except ye shall repent.

For if ye will not repent,

behold, this great city,

and also all those great cities which are round about,

which are in the land of our possession,

shall be taken away

that ye shall have no place in them;

for behold, the Lord will not grant unto you strength,

as he has hitherto done,

to withstand against your enemies.

Helaman 7:23

For behold, thus saith the Lord:

I will not show unto the wicked of my strength,

to one more than the other,

save it be unto those who repent of their sins, and hearken unto my words.

Now therefore, I would that ye should behold, my brethren,

that it shall be better for the Lamanites than for you except ye shall repent.

Helaman 7:24

For behold, they are more righteous than you,

for they have not sinned against that great knowledge which ye have received;

therefore the Lord will be merciful unto them;

yea, he will lengthen out their days and increase their seed,

even when thou shalt be utterly destroyed except thou shalt repent.

which has come among you;

and ye shall be destroyed from off the face of the earth.

because the Lord God has made them known unto me,

therefore I testify that they shall be.

And now it came to pass that when Nephi had said these words,

behold, there were men who were judges,

who also belonged to the secret band of Gadianton,

a great many thousand years before his coming,

that even redemption should come unto them.

whether this man be a prophet

and God hath commanded him

to prophesy such marvelous things unto us.

Behold, we do not believe that he hath;

which he has said concerning the chief judge be true,

that he be dead,

then will we believe that the other words which he has spoken are true.

Helaman 9:16

the judges did expound the matter unto the people,

and did cry out against Nephi, saying:

Behold, we know that this Nephi must have agreed

with some one to slay the judge,

and then he might declare it unto us,

that he might convert us unto his faith,

that he might raise himself to be a great man,

chosen of God, and a prophet.

for thou shalt not ask that which is contrary to my will.
